Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of unsp less toe(s), 7thD

This code signifies a fracture in the upper part of a lesser toe bone that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a routine follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of a lesser toe. This indicates the fracture is progressing through normal healing stages.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "proximal phalanx" of a lesser toe.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed healing.
• Confirm that the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture and not for new symptoms or complications.
